unable to make an alliance against
Germany. His personal preference s
are for a neutral pacific policy and he
will try to govern through his min
try. kilograms received here
from the German embassy at Paris
record the gratifying fact that though
it was considered necessary to guard
the approaches to the embassy, every
thing was peaceful during the excite
ment. There was an utter absence of
any anti-German demonstrations.
The fact that the efforts of Deroulde
and others to provoke patriotic ebulli
ton found no response is raising hopes
of prolonged assuagement Of the
revanche sentiment.

RACE PREJUDICE.
Decision Regarding COiOred
Travel on Railroads.

WASHINGTON, December 3.-The
Interstate Commerce Commission to-
day decided the case of W. Fl. Coun-
Gil, colored, versus the Western and
Atlantic Ry. Council WAS forced to
ride in a "Jim Grow" Car run for col
ored people in the South, although he
has frst-class ticket. The opinion
which is by Commissioner Morrison,
holds that colored people may be as
signed separate cars on equal terms
without advantage to either race and
with the same comfort to both. The
"Jim Grow" furnished only second
class comforts. The road must fur
nish colored people who buy first-class
tickets accommodations equally safe
and comfortable with the other first
class passengers.

there is great diversity as to how it is
to be effected.
WHAT THEY PROPOSE.

The Democratic revenue reformers
strongly urge the reduction Of the
tariff on all articles that can be called
necessaries of life, and generally favor
the retention of the internal revenue
taxes except on tobacco.
Republicans and Randall Demo-
Gratis, as rule, insist upon the reten-
ton of the tariff except upon sugar,
and advocate the abolition of nearly
all internal revenue taxation, the most
common exception being whisky.
The mere pronounced protectionists
advocate the entire repeal of the sugar
duty and the payment of Dounties to
sugar growers. There is general ex-
preston among Republicans and some
western Democrats in favor of enlarged
expenditures for coast defenses, new
navy, river and harbor improvements.
The postal telegraph also has many
supporters.

THE CUTTING CLAIM.

How the Department at wash
ingtOn has Acted.
WASHINGTON, December 3.-Oficials
of the Department of State are at a
loss to account for the feeling which
has sprung up in Mexico regarding
the Cutting case. 1t is said that the
subject has been presented to the
Mexican Government in accordance
with the forms of international law,
with a view to the settlement OF extra
territorial jurisdiction, and not with
any intent of endeavoring to force
vexatious claims in an arbitrary man
ner. As matter Of fact there has
been no new presentation of the Cut
ting claim against the Mexican Gov
eminent, no fixed money indemnity
has been demanded, and nothing said
i'll the judgment OF the department.
that would warrant the creation OF i'll
feeling between the two countries.
FEELING IN MEXICO.
CRY OF MEXICO, December 3.-No
apprehension is felt in Government
circles as regards the difficulties with
the United States over the Cutting
case. The United States iii friendly
way demands that Mexico abandon
the doctrine of extra territorial juris-
diction as against the principles of
international law, and asks indemnity
i'll the Cutting case without specifying
the particular sum. The matter will !
go through the usual diplomatic chan
nels without any rupture.
PARTY TROUBLES.
The opponents of Diaz, who is
candidate for reelection, de-
clare that Diaz is over friendly
with the United States Gov
eminent, and favors selling Lower
California to the United States Gov
eminent. Inspector Messick states
that there is no truth in the report, as
Lower California, being free from taxa
ton, does not favor the connection.
The clericals oppose Diaz because
Diaz is friendly to the United States
and favors the Introduction OF Ameri-
can ideas.
